The Superiority of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Over Chemotherapy Alone in the Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients with Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) Rearrangements
BACKGROUND Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene rearrangements always had a very poor prognosis. In this study, we report the incidence of MLL rearrangements in AML patients using gene analysis, as well as the clinical significance and prognostic features of these rearrangements. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study took place from April 2008 to ...
متن کاملMixed lineage leukemia translocations and a leukemia stem cell program.
Cancer stem cells (CSC) may provide the self-renewal capacity required to sustain a tumor. One possibility is that CSC arise from the stem cell counterparts in normal tissues. Alternatively, CSC may arise from more differentiated progenitor cells found in certain tissues. In support of this idea, we showed recently that mixed lineage leukemia fusion oncoproteins can convert committed hematopoie...
متن کاملClinical relevance of acute mixed-lineage leukemia.
A recent report by Pui et all focused on the biologic and clinical relevance of acute mixed-lineage leukemia; namely, acute lymphoblastic leukemia expressing myeloid-associated antigens (My+ ALL) and acute myeloid antigens expressing lymphoid antigens (Ly+ AML) were analyzed in a pediatric series. In our opinion, a major point in the field of hybrid acute leukemia remaining undetermined is whic...

متن کاملSignificance of Cross Lineage Antigen Expression in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Background: Aberrant expression of cross-lineage antigens gives valuable insight into the diagnosis and prognosis of acute leukemia. In countries like India, cytogenetic tests are widely accessible. Exploring the prognostic value of an accessible test is of great importance. Therefore, establishing a population-specific immunophenotype database will enable to design an antibody panel equipped t...
